Mr Tusk says the American decision is a "huge mistake, bigger than not rectifying the Kyoto Protocol". He said participating in the pact would undermine the United States economy, wipe out jobs, weaken national sovereignty and put his country at a permanent disadvantage. As a result, withdrawing from it can't have major consequences by itself.

U.S. think tank Climate Interactive predicts that if all nations fully achieve their Paris pledges, the average global surface temperature rise by 2100 will be 3.3C, or 3.6C without the US.

Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord was widely condemned by many worldwide leaders, US companies, Democrats and many American citizens. We are told that other governments will no longer trust America to keep its commitments. But it would not be a bad thing for other countries to learn that a president's say-so can't always bind future presidents. Demonstrators also demanded that Trump release his tax returns, a tradition among U.S. presidents which Trump has steadfastly refused to follow. Trump's withdrawal, Oliver argues, isn't to protect US interests but his own ego. That breadth of support helps explain why Trump made this move while so far refraining from tearing up NAFTA and the like.

With such complexities of cause-and-effect in climate science and justice, the membership of the USA in the Paris Agreement, which constitutes the participation of not only a top emitter but also a large proportion of the first world's population, was to be welcomed, particularly after the noteworthy failure of its predecessor, the Kyoto Protocol. It would be better to take a different path altogether.

Musk has been a vocal supporter of carbon taxes, saying, "All we are doing [with a carbon tax] is trying to match the inherent subsidy for fossil fuels... on the sustainable energy side".
